themselves ready to do battle with the ad
herents of OambrinuB in the cause of virtue
?t?1 spring water, loudly proclaiming the su
periority of Adam's ale. They come a solid
cohort to afford a steady support to the cause
of virtue. We hope there is no wavering in
their ranks, as it would destroy faith
in spring water. Indeed, it might create
a suspicion that somehow the water was
liable to get mixed. As the case at present
stands it is a pretty quarrel, which promises to
complicate seriously the local politics of the
Garden City. The temperance men assert
that they will not cast a vote for any man sus
pected of growing only one hop, while the
German element declare war on pumps,
fluid will not have any man in office who
is not able to dispose of a reasonable
quantity of lager. Placed between these angry
factions tho authorities, who naturally are in
; teres ted in the votes, are at their wits' end to
compromise the matter ; but the rivals have
taken for their motto "No Surrender," and
iwill fight the battle out to the bitter end. An
effort will be made even to return a temper
ance Legislature. If this should be accom
plished we do not see how lawmaking is to go
on. It is even now rather dry work, but with
out lager would become an intolerable bore.
The Liquor law in our city lends a certain air
Of respectability and demurencss to the streets
on Sunday, but beyond appearances it does
not help much the cause of sobriety, as the
polioe are astonishingly blind to the opera
tions of the whiskey sellers. Unless the police
of Chicago are made of sterner stuff the same
results would be likely to follow the enforce
ment of the rules against Sunday trading. Wo
cannot, then, see what good this organized
hypocrisy is likely to effeot. If the gin-mills
are to be closed, but at liberty to trade, why,
Wy so ; but it is absurd to be passing lawB for
the sake of effeot when there is no intention to
-enforce them.
The Geeman Vote. ? The result of the
?elections in this city on Tuesday shows that
the German vote at least is secure from the
^blandishments of mere politicians. German
?democrats voted for Lawronce and German
republicans for Havemeyer, and the fact that
O'Brien was a candidate for Mayor was com
pletely ignored by this part of our population.
There were wild stories about O'Brien's in
fluence with the Germans, but his defeat is
only another proof that personal influence
;goes for little on election day, and that the
?German vote especially is cast from conscien
tious motives. The Germans appear to havo
thoroughly canvassed the condition of our
?local affairs among themselves and then to
tiave recorded their conclusions at the polls.
ITALIAN OPERA.
MIm Kcllogg'i Appearance as Annetta
In "Crlsplno 0 la Comart."
Twenty-one .rears ago Lulgl and Frederico
Rlcci, two talented Tuscan brothers, par nobtlefra
trum, brought out a comic opera at Florence,
whicb wen at once the volatile fancies of the
?audience. The transformed cobbler and the kind
.fairy have ever since been welcomed on every
?vtage where Italian opera has been presented. The
?fairy, to be sure, plays a very small part, lyrically,
.In the comic scenes of this delightful work, but her
Influence is, nevertheless, very potent In
the unravelling of the thread of the story.
Crlsplno is, of course, the most salient
feature of the opera, although, at times, he has
to yield the place of honor to bis wife. The work
lias long ago become popular here through the ex
tortions of the two artists, Miss Kellogg and Ron
coni, who appeared last night in their well-known
rOles. When the work was first placed on the
stage in Italy Rovere was the Crlsplno and Ciampi,
If we mistake not, the Fabrizio. The cast last even
ing consisted of the following Annetta, Miss Kel
logg ; the Fairy, Mme. Schoficla ; Crlsplno, Ronconi ;
Fabrizio, Slgnor Relna; Miralbolano, Sign or Spara
panl; Count del Fiore, Mr. Gral; Don Asdrubal,
Slgnor Locatelli. The Introductory chorus is
Tather Insipid, and only served to give
Mr. Graf a little time to prepare himself for the first
tenor aria, "Bella slccome un angelo." (Why not
?Turaf") This gentleman made his debut on the
occasion. He is a pupil of slgnor Tamaro, of this
city. Bis voice is possessed of considerable natural
power and sweetness, and his school is good.
There are still some rough points and a certain
.Stiffness which can easily be removed by study and
experience, and his lack of histrionic ability and
apparent nervousness will yield to the same potent
instructors. Then came in Miss Kellogg as the un
successful ballad vendor, and she sang the pretty
little waltz song, "Ho qui di caldi palplti legende,"
with a brilliancy that in our days would in
sure a speedy sale for Annetta's baliarls.
Ronconi sang his cobbler's song in his own inim
itably comic style and with more regard to keep
lug in tune than he is wont to have. Then Relna.
an old acquaintance, who seems to have gained
additional mctullic (old metal) qualities Tu his
voice, which already gave the impression of a
?cracked trombone, came forward and sang with
frlm humor the flue aria, "lo sono 1111 po' fllosoto."
ortunately Mr. Maretzek compelled him to be vcrv
'brief in his remarks. The scene at the well be
tween Orispino and the Fairy, in which the latter
?dissuades the despairing cobbler from committing
frlo Oe ne, and' which is graced with
very beautiful instrumentation, brought on the
'first duet between Annetta and Crlsplno, a brilliant,
sparkling number in the opera. Uore the pure,
flexible voice of Miss Kellogg lound a eongenial
field of music, and, united with the acting of
Ronconi, made the finale of the ilrst act a genuine
success.
The prima donna in the second act won her way
to applauso by the abandon and <'lan which she
bestowed in the "Io non sono piu l'Annetta vend!
.atorle." The sparkling chorus, "Oh che pazzo, che
Xuffone," the laugh ot derision with which Cris
?ptao's neighiK>rs sa'ute his changed fortunes was
very well delivered, as were nearly all the choral
titbits of the merry opera. In the successful
quackery adminstered to his first patient,
Rortolo, Ronconl's acting would be a leature
even on the stage of Wallack's. His comic
powers had here a splendid opportunity of which
lie promptly availed himself. The gem of the en
?tire opera, the celebrated sestett'i, was given with
rare effect. The strelto winch follows is very bril
liant, but entirely <J? trap. The curtain should fall
on the sestetto. In the third act the scene between
Crlsplno and his envious rivals is perhaps the most
admirable specimen of comic writing on the part
of a modem operatic composer that con be found.
In Italy it is the scene of the opera. Ronconi, like
Revere, always makes the most of it. although at
the present time it is rather too much of a strain
<on his powers. Sparapunl hjre bestirred himself
lor the first time to advantage, but poor Relna
was as grimly unconvivlal as ever. Then occurred
a skip of filty pages I11 the sceno (the brothers Rlcci,
<lcver as undoubtedly they are in this opera, are
unfortunately too prolific of ideas, and they have
spun out the work beyond desirable limits). In
the "Canzonetta dclla Frittola" Miss Kuilogg
gained the principal honors that fell to her share
during the evening. It is a dashing subject, to be
admired even by trie most fastidious critic, and the
prima donna did it full Justice. Here the lyric in
terest of the opera ceased. Mr. Maretzek should
take ?u curly opportunity of repeating this opera,
sinco it received such a smooth repre
sentation, and since its sparkling music
and comic scenes must on all occasions prove
a source of attraction. When it brought applause
4ast night, when there was but the ghost of an au
dience present; when the drizzling ruin outside
made every opera-goer misanthropic and misera
ble, and when the public mind had not recovered
from the reaction consequent on the close of a bit
ter Presidential campaign, what effect must it huvo
under brighter circumstanccs? It was quite an act
of heroism to stir out-doors last night, and conse
quently the charm of the representation was lost
on the greater number or the subscribers. On Fri
day cvenmu Mozart's lovely opera, "Ifozzc dl
Figaro," will be presented with a very strong cost.

SPAIN'S ANXIETY FOR THE TRUTE
She Will Be Satisfied with an Impartial Ac
count of the Insurrection.
How Henderson's "Detention"
Was Brought About.
COMPLETENESS OF THE SPY SYSTEM.
Havana. Nov. 1, 1872.
The press and people of Havana are very
much exercised over the mission of A Boyd
Henderson to this island. The Diario de la
Marina, commenting upon the editorials of the
Herald, occasioned by the arrest of its cor
respondent, endeavors to make the matter
appear as
THE RESULT OF A DEEPLY LAID PLAN
to make a journalistic sensation in favor of
the Cubans; and, in reply to the Herald's
assertion that Mr. Henderson's mission was
one which deeply interested the American
people, and that the government and people
of the United States would hold Spain re
sponsible for his life and liberty, spitefully
declares that it cannot see what legitimate
interest the American people can have in
investigating the situation of the in
surgents, and even if they had,
they have no business to meddle in the inte
rior affairs of Cuba. On the contrary, Cuba
feels a greater and more legitimate interest
in the desire that some of the neutrality laws
of the United States were more equitable and
just, and, above all, that they were more
strictly oarried out, but limits herself to the
diplomatic or consular questions which are
strictly within the bounds of international law.
Also in relation to the allusion which the
Hebald makes, that a war may yet be neces
sary to teach Spain to respect other nations,
and that a war with the United States would
be the total loss of its possessions in the An
tilles, the Diario says, with the usual
rUFF or CASTELLAN PRIDE
(y nunca desmeniida hidaUjuia ) , that it will not
argue that such a war would not lose to Spain
its two prized Antilles, as the United States
are so near at hand, and Spain four thousand
miles off? but bombastically asks, "Has the
Herald calculated the holocausts of human
bones which would cover the soil of Cuba and
Forto Rico, and the bodies which would be
food for the fishes of the Caribbean Sea before
the banner of Spain should be lowered in either
Antille ? Has it calculated the millions to be
spent by the United States and the probable
duration of the war ?" Here, as a warning, the
Diario says, the war carried on by the Spaniards
against the Moors who triumphed at Guadalete
lasted for eight hundred years, and if Spain
should lose her ultramarine possessions in a
contest with the American Union, the con
tinuation of
SUCH A WAB WOULD DE A LEGACY
to be transmitted from father to son, and
would be converted into so lasting and heavy
a burden that the American people would for
ever curse those who should commit the
crime of initiating it The Diario concludes
its article by expressing its surprise that the
Hebald, after having threatened the wrath of
the American nation and made a semi-declara
tion of war against Spain, communicating its
nervousness on the subject to all its readers,
should have changed its tune and thanked the
authorities of Cuba for the kindness and
COURTESY SHOWN TO ITS ENVOY.
"This," it continues, "may be considered
in the light of reparation of a fault, but the
authorities are swayed by no other motive but
that of a desire that truth should be made
known. The authorities and press of Cuba
have repeatedly declared the rebellion to have
no seat, no government, no army, no towns,
and as all this is exactly true, a foreigner is
granted permission to see with his own eyes
that the Cuban authorities and press have been
all along declaring the truth, and trusts that
Mr. Henderson will report to the Herald ex
actly what he sees."
THE SPANISH POLICE SYSTEM.
The Diario also states that it knew of the
arrival of the Hebald envoy ; that it knew that
the police had been advised that Henderson
would attempt to communicate with the insur
gents, and that for this reason he was detained,
but treated with all possible consideration ; that
the Captain General had been informed by the
Spanish Minister at Washington of the special
character the Herald gave to ita commis
sioner, and convinced that:,
THE SPANISH NATION WOULD (JAIN MUCH
if the truth of the stato of the insurrection
was known in all parts of the world, the
authorities did not only give Mr. Henderson
his immediate liberty, but authorized him to
proceed wherever ho thought it couvcnicut,
furnishing him recommendations to the supe
rior authorities of the Oriental and Central
Departments, and leaving him the most ample
facilities to write his impressions.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
London, Not. 0, 1872.
The result of tbo Presidential election in America
is published In London this morning, and com
mented on editorially bj the city press.
Tbo London Telegraph believes "Grant deserved
a re-election, and the fact that ho has been again
chosen disproves the assertion that republics are
ungrateful."
The Standard makes a violent attack npon the
republican party, "which," It says, "has done
nationally what Tammany and Fisk did locally.
Grant and Greeley are both unfit for tho position
of President of the United States, but, of two evils,
we believe the people have made the best choice."
The Da flu Telegraph, referring to the re-election
of General Grant, says "No ouo deserved better
of his country or is worthier of a place among the
illustrious men who have twice held the Presiden
tial office. England has had cause to complain of
mtmy things, but President Grant's policy toward
her has never been wilfully petulant, or liostllo."
The Telegraph hopes that the United States will
now take care of Mexico and Cuba; It believes
thatt'.ie West, not the East, demands their atten
tion.
The Standard upholds the principles on which tho
Southern States soccded from the Union as opposed
to republicanism, which It denounces as
"the deification of the passions of a tempo
rary majority and as Identified with personal
and political corruption. In consequence of the
supremacy of the republican party the States are
loaded wltn enormous debts; the foreign holders of
their securities receive nothing. Tho republicans
aro responsible also lor insurrection In Cuba,
anarchy in Mexico and the murder or the Emperor
Maximilian. The democrats, however, are no bet
ter."

Washington, Nov. e, 1872.
The President, the Cabinet and the
Party Promise*.
The President to-day recelvod calls of congratu
lation In addition to numerous telegrams of greet
ing and also announcing results, lie expressed
tliiinks to his guests for (hose manifestations of
friendship, and, apart flrom the political Issues In
volved, was grailfledthat the people had vindicated
his private character, which had been assailed dur
ing the canvass.
The Secretary of State, to relieve the anxiety of
those who fear he may remain In tho Cabinet dur
ing the second term of President Grant's adminis
tration, authorizes the uunouncement that he will
positively retire from public life on the 4th of next
March. He has rented his present residence until
that date, and will make the Congressional season
unusually gay. In reply to the Interrogatory
whether he would accept tho mission to tho
Court of St. James, he replied that the recent tri
umph of American diplomacy respecting the Ala
bama claims would forbid him from accepting any
diplomatic position whoro lio would be brought
necessarily in contact with gentlemen who had on
uatlonal grounds opposed the Qeueva award.
There is no immediate probability of a change of
the Attorney General, if his own desire is a guide.
Judge Williams recently remarked to a friend that
although he could have been elected Senator from
Oregon he declined belug a candidate, in order that
he might remain in his present oftlce. The com
missions of all of the present Cabinet will expire at
the close of the present term, thus necessitating
new commissions to those serving as Cabinet o Ul
cers after the 4th of March next.
It la too early to anticipate the President's action
In the future concerning reforms and measures of
administration, further than his intimation to-day
that he will endeavor to shape hlH official conduct
so as to meet the expectations of the country, and
to unite the people In stronger bonds of peace,
while by all means in his power promoting their
welfare at home and abroad.
The Capital Press and the Election.
The National Republican and Daily Chronicle,
administration journals, are jubllaut over the re
sult of the Presidential election. The l"atriot,
democratic, says, "The result excites no surprise, for
It has been foreshadowed ever slnoe Pennsylvania
was carried by fraud and treachery In October.
We accept the Inevitable with a seuso of deep
despondency for the future, which Is not enlivened
by any hope of a change for the bettor. The liberal
movement Is temporarily checked, but not de
feated. Its ultimate triumph Is certain, and there
are thousands who conspired against It that will
live to deplore their mistaken opposition and Join
hands hereafter In a patriotic effort to redeem this
error and to elect a reform candidate In 1876. The
great principles and Ideas which underlie this
cause can be no more suppressed than the order of
the seasons can be arrested. In the language of
the Kentucky hunter, 'Let us pick our flints and try
It a^aln.' "

The New System of Arm y Inspection.
The Inspectors General of the Army, who have
been some time In consultation at the War Depart
ment in reference to the beBt method of super
vising the Army, under the late order attaching
them all to the stair of the commanding general,
have ended their deliberations. General Schrlver,
formerly in charge of the Military Academy, goes
to Texas to Inspect the whole department. Gen
eral Hardle, late Inspector for General Sheridan,
goes to New Orleans to inspect all the military es
tablishments In the Guir States, and General
Hncket, detached from the stair o l General Meade,
at Philadelphia, takes the posts and depots in tbe
other Southern Ktates. These Inspectors are to
consult with the cluefs of bureaus here and
the military commanders where they oper
ate, General Sherman not wishing to Ig
nore any subordinate branches of Army
administration in pursalna liis inquiry
into the means oi reducing the annual
cost, while developing the efficiency of tbe mili
tary establishment.
On return from the present touTS of investigation
the Inspectors General will be sent into other
fields, the whole army being thus continuously
brought under the observation of the commanding
general. Colonel Davis, already in the far West,
will complete the survey of the whole Department
of the Missouri before coming east, and General
Marcy, senior Inspector General, remains at Wash
ington in general charge of the Inspection service.
General Howard and tlie Peace Policy.
General Howard, who has been to Arizona to
Induce Cochise and his followers to goon a reserva
tion, returned to-daj and reports to the Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs that the peace policy is a
success, provided the Indians do not violate their
promises.
The Epizootic.
Owing to the heavy rain to-day very few hors -s
were on the streets, and these were heavily
wrapped to gunrd them against the Influence of
the weather. There were no hacks on the streets
and none to be fonnd in the livery stables. The
horse disease is now at its height. A sound animal
can scarcely be found anywhere.
The Indian Bounty Fraud*.
Judge Wright, chargcd with Indian bounty,
frauds, will make a third attempt to vacate the
order made by the District Court here appointing
three examiners In the Indian Territory with
authority to take testimony separately.' The neces
sity for three examinations at the same time In be
half ol thn government arises from the fact that
individual Indians must be examined to disprove
the general testimony offered in dcfcnce that tho
amounts claimed to have been embezzled by the de
feudant were properly disposed of. Mr. Roger M.
Shearman, of tho Department of Justice, has been
entrusted with the duty of taking additional testi
mony on behalf of the government.

A BOSTON HORROR.
The Body of a Nan, Cat to Pl?eea, roani
Afloat la Two Barrel*? Victim aad Mar
di rer Unknown.
Boston, Mass.:. Nov. 6, mx
A moat mysterious and terrible trauedy baa been
developed In this city this afternoon, *h? circum
stances of which are unparalleled among the mul
tiplicity of revolting and strange crimes wf<Seh fiavis
taken place in this vicinity recently. The vvlctira.
the assassin and the motive are all nnknowt. U t?
to this time, and in the absence of such fact*, the
event has caused conalderabie excitement. It
seems that between three and lour o'cloct.thls after
noon some or the workmen employed in the ga?
house at the foot of Cambridge street discovered
a large barrel had floated ashore along the bank*
of the Charlea IMver. Thinking perhaps It con
tained something valuable In liquids or contra
band, they pulled it In and unpacked It, when they
were horrified and astonished at the dlscowry of
two human legs and a human head, the tatter
being bald-headed and ludicattng that the victim
was about fifty years old. Fresh blood was drip
ping from the remnants of the body, and every
thing seemed to Indicate that death ani
butchery had taken place within a very
few hours. While the workmen were engaged
In removing and caring for the repulslvo
and sickening mans which they had found, a sec
ond barrel was seen m tly; stream, and upon being
brought ashore and opened it was found t? contain
the reHt of the body? the portion between the necfc
and knees. The indications were tnat decapitation
aud amputation were performed with a sharp
knife, for when the remains wore placed together
in proper position they fitted so perfectly and
nicely that the points of separation could only be
discovered by the traces and oozing or the btood.
None of the clothing was missing except the
hat, and, aside from a small flesh wound
on the face, there was nothing to iudi
cate that thcro had been a struggle. Around
the body there was a large rope whicl) bad been
firmly tied, and upou the back, between the outside
and under shirt was a gold watch and chain, which
apparently had been secreted there by either the
murdered man or his murderer. Aside from these
articles nothing elso was found. The clothing
which he wore was of the best, quality, nnd every
thing seemed to indicate that the nun was one in
good circumstances. The body was taken charge
of by a Coroner aud au investigation will bo made
to-morrow.
